Chapter 192: The Battle for the Port of Incheon

Deng Shichang ordered the battleships not to pursue the fleeing Japanese wreckage, but to come back to recapture the port of Incheon, and the Second Fleet of the Chinese Empire began to assemble in the open sea, and the batteries on the shore opened fire on the warships of the Chinese Empire.

At this time, the "Yi Sunsin" also realized that the current port of Incheon was no longer under their control, and the Korean fleet was already a homeless child at this time, and Deng Shichang ordered all the warships to keep a safe distance and not let these shore defense guns hurt our warships.

At the same time, the order was given to take advantage of the huge power of the guns on the battleships and the firing range far exceeded the advantages of these coastal defense artillery fire, and began to strike at the artillery fire covering the port of Incheon, and after the order was issued, the six warships of the Chinese Empire began to use the most powerful firepower.

In particular, the three ironclad ships, all of which used the main artillery fire, and the 305 mm howitzers often blew up a large wave at sea, but today they hit the land, and at that time there was a big crater with a radius of more than 50 meters!

The huge shock wave overturned all the larger targets that could be seen on the shore, which caused most of the Japanese troops who were originally in the fortress to be killed and wounded, and the change in the situation of the battle has exceeded everyone's expectations.

The loss of Incheon Port has become inevitable, and Min Yongyu retreated to Seoul with the remnants of the army, after all, this old friend can still be trusted!

After the Second Fleet of the Royal Navy of the Chinese Empire dumped all the shells in the port of Incheon, the commander of the fleet, Deng Shichang, took this fleet to the military port of Lushun, waiting for the next order of the command of the Imperial Chinese Navy.

At this time, the four gates of Seoul were open, but the scene of the end of the world was fully revealed, and the refugees and North Korean soldiers who had retreated from all directions gathered at various intersections and gates, and now there were still some new Korean troops maintaining order, and they carried out the orders issued by the North Korean Prime Minister Park Jong-sang.

And this is also the last order, all the soldiers and civilians of Seoul moved to Silla, and all the soldiers and civilians moved to the northern strategy, at this time the supreme order of North Korea, and at the same time the order of ****, these retreating refugees once again embarked on a difficult journey after receiving their share of food, but at this time they retreated for the last time.

Zuo Guigui, who was in Seoul, received a telegram from the General Staff, and his request was once again denied!

Zuo Guigui couldn't figure out why the General Staff would give such a stupid order, with the current military strength of the empire in Seoul, it was completely possible to take the initiative to attack, and there was no need to be so cowardly to be on duty in the lonely city of Seoul!

There is a theoretical and practical basis for defending Seoul, and as long as Zuo Guigui is given two more divisions of troops to fight the Japanese here, Zuo Guigui is completely confident. On May 24, the second group of reinforcements arrived.

But when he saw this army, Zuo Guigui didn't believe his eyes at all, this person with the rank of colonel, with a team of only three hundred people, and most of them were female soldiers, what combat effectiveness could this have!

The size of the team leader asked Zuo Guigui to immediately remove the troops to protect them, and began to investigate at the various intersections into Seoul, at this time, the order issued by the General Staff, the people who came did not help, and there were so many requests, it was really annoying!

The colonel was a middle-aged man, in his forties, and there were no hairs left on his forehead, so in the army where baldness was very strict, he was open-ended, and the hair on his temples was very long, so that he changed his hair on the top of his head, and it also appeared that his hair was very "bushy".

His name is Qi Zhenke, he is a Chinese in Nanyang, he came back during the First Great Patriotic War, he is a military doctor, he saw that Zuo Guigui's face was very ugly, so he said; "Commander Zuo! Actually, I really hope you're right and I'm wrong! ”

Zuo Guigui did not understand this person's words, but he still had to obey the orders of the General Staff of the Imperial Army and began to set up checkpoints at various intersections, at this time, due to the large increase in the population of Seoul, cholera and smallpox epidemics had already begun to appear.

Qi Zhenke began to investigate at the intersection, first inspect before leading the grain, and then if he was really sick, he immediately began to isolate and treat, and then carried out a thorough disinfection campaign in densely populated areas. Control of hygienic conditions.

In order to ensure the safety of the rear of the empire, the General Staff has prepared a large number of medicines to deal with this possible epidemic. At this time, the powerful and advanced pharmaceutical industry will show its strong life and importance!

On May 30, the first year of Guangming, Min Yongyu retreated to Seoul, at this time Seoul almost became an empty city, and it was possible to maintain a little order in the panic.

Min Yongyu saw this old friend of his own; "General Zuo! The port of Incheon is lost! ”

Zuo Guigui said; "It's not your fault! You've done a good job, don't fight with these widows for a while, and the days ahead are still long! ”

Min Yongyu saw the empty appearance of Seoul, was very confused, and asked; "General! Where are all the soldiers and civilians of Seoul, and the other ministers! ”

Zuo Guigui looked at Zhou Lemin!

Zhou Lemin said; "General Min! Let's go to the palace and see it! But don't get too excited, and keep your emotions under control! ”

Min Yongyu didn't understand what was going on when these two generals were so mysterious!

When Min Yongyu brought his officers to the Joseon royal palace to meet his king, he was stunned by everything in front of him!

Those who bear it lower, start vomiting on the spot!

The Korean palace has been surrounded for ten days, and at the beginning, Japan's Oshima Keisuke only used the method of killing people to gain authority in exchange for bargaining chips with the North Korean government, but Zuo Guigui didn't eat his set at all, and gave it a strategy of completely cutting off food and water.

Inside has begun to eat people, in the Joseon royal palace is full of bloody bones and skeletons, the corpse is sturdy, smelly, disgusting!

At this time, skull bones and other things began to be thrown out of the inside, and at this time, the Huaxia soldiers outside began to think about these bones, splashing gasoline, and then igniting them, so that most of the harm could be eliminated!

In this Joseon royal palace, every once in a while, there would be a creepy shout, and the sound of blunt and sharp objects cutting on the flesh and skin made many soldiers have broken their nerves.

After seeing the scene in front of him, Min Yongyu's heart was like a knife, he pulled out his pistol and was about to rush inside, but at this time Zhou Lemin blocked him and said; "General Min! You don't want this, you rush and they will kill the king, princess and prince right away! When the time comes, you will be the sinner of North Korea for the ages! ”

At this time, a staff officer came to Zhou Lemin, saluted Zhou Lemin, and then said; "Tuanza! The division commander ordered you and Division Commander Min to go to the headquarters for a meeting! ”

Zhou Lemin pulled Min Yongyu and said; "Let's go! Don't be here, the people inside aren't human anymore! ”

In the headquarters of Seoul, Zuo Guigui stood in a daze on a huge map, and now he was thinking about the next military action, the current army led by Marshal Yuan Shikai stopped a division in Pyongyang, and another division was in Kaicheng to take charge of Zuo Guigui!

What the hell is this for!

Stupid General Staff! Hitting the Japanese into the sea is the king's way, and such repeated retreats don't give up all the land to the Japanese?

Zuo Guigui has sent seven telegrams to Shang Rongqian, putting forward his own ideas and plans, but he has only been notified of the execution of the order, and finally Shang Rongqian especially emphasized that this time he is not allowed to make his own opinions, and he must implement the original plan, otherwise the military law will be engaged!

After seeing Min Yongyu and Zhou Lemin come in, Zuo Guigui said; "It's all here, let's discuss how we want to carry out the orders issued by the General Staff!"

Min Yongyu saw that all the military operations of the Huaxia Empire did not hide his meaning, and knew that now his allies were only these Huaxia army, but when he knew that the army was discussing how to retreat, he was very incomprehensible, why is this?

He said; "Commander Zuo! Why retreat! We're going to hold Seoul! ”

Zuo Guigui said; "This is an order issued by the Imperial General Staff, and soldiers must obey orders!"

Min Yongyu wanted to die at this time, but in the current situation, he didn't even have the qualifications to die!

。。。。。。。

In the port of Incheon, the losses of the Japanese army were very heavy, in this defense battle, directly died under the shells of the Chinese Empire, a total of more than 1,000 people, more than 5,000 people were injured, but the current medical conditions of the people are not very good, so the fate of these injuries is destined not to be good.

Despite the heavy cost, they held the port and repelled the attack of the Chinese Empire's navy, although the port of Inchon had been almost razed to the ground. At this time, it is necessary to stabilize the order here in Incheon Port.

Now the port of Incheon has become a dangerous city, and most of the people have fled, but there are still many Donglin Party troops and Korean new troops who are still resisting, and the Japanese have no way to distinguish between those civilians and those who are soldiers.

So the easiest way is to kill them all!

The humiliation suffered by the Japanese soldiers in the Chinese Empire was all poured on the Koreans, and the Japanese army carried out a massacre in the Korean port of Incheon, and rows of soldiers of the Donglin Party Korean New Army were taken to the port to the sea.

The Koreans kneeling on the beach were stabbed to death with Japanese bayonets, and then kicked into the sea nearby, because there were so many people, and the bodies were piled up on the T-shaped platform of the harbor at the level of the steps.

During the 10-day massacre, there were only more than 170 people left in the port of Incheon, the largest port on the Korean Peninsula, all of whom were Koreans who cooked and fed horses to the Japanese, and more than 80,000 people who did not escape from the port of Incheon were slaughtered. Many years later, you can see the white bones in the water of Incheon Port.

。。。。。。

On 28 May of the first year of Guangming, the Japanese base camp received a report on the Battle of the Yellow Sea, and the Japanese Minister of the Navy, Shikinori Kayama, reported to the Japanese emperor the actual situation, and the current strategic direction was the same as what Japan expected, but there was a slight difference.
